Lace Book

This is my 2nd Lace Book.  I used an image from the paper line by Pion Design called "From Grandma's Attic-tinted".  Wild Orchid Craft roses and the tiny grey flowers are by Prima.  The crochet flower and burlap flowers are handmade.  The flowers on the side of the Lace Book are also Prima.  I followed a tutorial on YouTube.

Handmade Card

This is one of my handmade cards that I made to go with a box that I altered for a challenge on YouTube.  I used an image from a paper line by Pion Design, called "From Grandma's Attic - tinted".  I then put some stickles on the flowers on the hat and on the lace color, just for dimension.  I used flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Altered Notebook with Prima Doll Stamp

I altered a notebook with one of the Prima Doll stamps.  I first stamped it on cardstock and cut it out.  I then stamped it again on fabric, for the top, skirt and headband.  I love using these stamps.  Reminds me of when I was young and loved playing with paper cutout dolls and the paper clothing.

Raggady Rag Doll

Hi everyone!
Sorry, I haven't posted anything in a while, been busy with work and every time I want to post some new project, I always seem to say to myself, tomorrow is another day, I will do it then.  Honestly, who I am kidding!  Anyways, I decided to post today.  I have been watching Bianca4430 on Youtube and her wonderful tutorials on making Raggady Rag Dolls and I got hooked.  So I went out and bought the fabrics I needed and last night started on the doll and today, I finished the doll.  Haven't decided on a name yet.  For my first attempt at making a rag doll, I have to say, I think that she turned out pretty darn nice!  I have other dolls in the making and will post the pictures when they are finished.

Frame with Heart made of Paper Roses- one in blue tones, one in green tones

I made 2 more of these paper roses in a frame, one in blue tones, one in green tones.  I made the blue one yesterday afternoon.  I didn't realize how much fun these are to make!  Enjoy!

Frame with Heart made of Paper Roses

I was looking at some sites a while back and came across a site "Pursuit of Craftyness.blogspot.ca" and saw a frame with a heart shape made of paper roses.  This inspired me to try and make one for myself.  So, I bought a 5x7 frame, spent two evenings over the weekend making paper roses.  Well here is my finished frame with a heart shape made of paper roses.  I  am so happy with the end result, so I am preparing to do another frame, this time an 8x10.  I will post pictures of the 8x10, once I am done.

"Fantasia" My Captured Fairy in a Jar

I am in a Fairy in a Jar swap at Mini Album Scraps.  Didn't want to use a paper fairy, so I bought a mini doll, a large flower and a butterfly.  I took the flower apart and made my fairy a dress and cut the butterfly in half and voila, wings.  I then took an empty jam jar, glued moss in the bottom and glued leaves in behind the fairy, so it looks like she is in a forest.  I also glued a small lady bug on her dress.

Today I decided, while watching tv, to make some ribbon flowers.  Here they are!

One of 3 itty bitty mini albums that I made for a swap on Mini Album Scraps.

Welcome!

Hi!  Welcome to my blog!  Well, I finally went ahead and with the help of my friend, Melissa, owner of Passion Collimagination, set up a blog.  Now all I have to do, is go through all of my pictures and post them.  This is very new to me, but I will try to do my best in keeping my blog up-to-date.  Please be patient with me!  Thanks for visiting!
